This stone was rescued from the Spokane River. It revealed its unique character on the wheel. We followed its natural banding, letting the stone dictate its own freeform oval shape. Every piece we cut is a 100% unique, one-of-a-kind freeform.The Spokane River runs right through our backyard. We've waded it, dug the banks at Stateline, and worked it for over 30 years. Most people drive right past it. This stone carries the memory of those waters, a true survivor from our home river.Every piece in the Spokane River, Stateline Collection is hand-cut and polished in our Spokane Valley shop, a testament to the river we know best and the stories it holds.— Bob & Janyce, Rockhound Studio, Spokane Valley WAThis oval cabochon features a high polish finish.
